December 12, 2016- mailed I-485, I-765, 1-130 and I-131 to USCIS
December 26,2016 - Got texts from USCIS acknowledging receipt with PD December 14,2016. Got official receipt notice about 3 days later.
December 14, 2016 - Day 0.
January 20, 2017- Biometrics appointment.
February 27, 2017(Day 75) - Called Customer service to place a service request
March 15, 2017 (Day 91)- Called customer service to check the status of my request. I asked to speak with an immigration officer who told me that they contacted me via email that my case was currently being processed. I never got that email. Check my spam etc. They said to give them another 30 days to process.
March 15, 2017 (Day 91)- I called the senators office and explained that I had been out of work since I was waiting for the approval. They said they would send an email to USCIS and get back to me in about a week or two.
March 22, 2017 ( Day 98)- Called the senators office again. They assured me that they are pursuing my case and still waiting for a response.
March 27, 2017 (Day 103)- Called the senators office yet again letting them know about my financial situation. This time she placed a direct call and told me to expect approval soon.
March 28, 2017 (Day 104)- Status changed to "New card being produced" . Status on my AP application still showed "Received on December 14,2016)
April 3, 2017 (Day 110)- Received two official notices by mail. One for EAD and the other for AP.
April 5, 2017 (Day 112)- Status changed to 'Card was mailed to me" . However the online status on my AP never changed.
April 8, 2017 (Day 115)- Received combo card in mail.
I do not know if I would have received it at the same time if the senators office did not place a call. I think the call really helped since I got approval the very next day. My status for the AP still shows " Case was received". Goodluck everyone. It seems since this new rule became effective, they are not worried about processing cases fast. The wait was so frustrating. Now it's time to wait on my i-485 application. Apparently, my processing office takes about a year. Sorry for the long timeline!
